Has anyone got a decent photo of one these particularly of it mounted in situ ? On the Lancaster it is mounted behind the hinged leading edge of starboard wing root. Not sure if same type was fitted to Halifax which I believe is located at top rear of engine nacelle in front of firewall. Needed to positivrly identify item and determine from which aircraft as it is attached to some steel tube structure.
Thanks

Has been confirmed as a Lancaster cabin heater exchanger as result of somebody clambering over very same item including mounting tubes between wing spars in fuselage of Just Jane. Wasn’t aware they were mounted in fuse – only ones I’ve seen are underneath hinged inboard wing leading edges

Attached are the photos, there are two nigh on unreadable steel data plates one which can be discerned following text:
?MCR
BRITISH PATENTS
INTER……36017 630017
……..AND
PATENTS APPLICATIONS ENGLAND
PATENTED IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES
The word “INTER…” probably is “INTERNATIONAL” and not intercooler
Radiator is water not oil. The steel tubular mount leads me to thinking it’s Halifax mounted on firewall above engine bearers, but same type fitted to Lancaster I think.. the problem is I don’t think BBMF has the cabin heat system installed so few are familiar with it but have seen Canadian Lanc pic clearly showing a Very similar item , not sure if Kirkby Lancashire has cabin heat system installed
